This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
Oh, baby come close to me
Let me love you
Oh, baby come close to me
Let me feel you
Look at each other, look at each other, look at each other
Look at each other, look at each other, look at each other
Look at each other, look at each other, look at each other
Go away, go away, go away, go away
Well now mutually, mentally molested children of a mother
Mutually, mentally molested children of sin
Oh no, the ever so popular beating that took you under
Oh no, the ever so popular beating that broke your skin
Free thinkers are dangerous
Blame hate for fate's seed
Go away, go away, go away, go away
Well you need the ones you love, love the ones that you need
Need the ones you love and love the ones you bleed
Lives rearranged and lives in my range, can you see?
Lives rearranged and lives in my range, can you see?
Free thinkers are dangerous
Blame hate for fate's seed
Die, die, die, die
Gonna let you mother fuckers die, gonna let you mother fuckers die
Gonna let you mother fuckers die, gonna let you mother fuckers die
Look at each other
Look at each other
Look at each other
Let me love you
Oh, baby come close to me
Let me feel you
Look at each other, look at each other, look at each other
Look at each other, look at each other, look at each other
Look at each other, look at each other, look at each other
Go away, go away, go away, go away
Well now mutually, mentally molested children of a mother
Mutually, mentally molested children of sin
Oh no, the ever so popular beating that took you under
Oh no, the ever so popular beating that broke your skin
Free thinkers are dangerous
Blame hate for fate's seed
Go away, go away, go away, go away
Well you need the ones you love, love the ones that you need
Need the ones you love and love the ones you bleed
Lives rearranged and lives in my range, can you see?
Lives rearranged and lives in my range, can you see?
Free thinkers are dangerous
Blame hate for fate's seed
Die, die, die, die
Gonna let you mother fuckers die, gonna let you mother fuckers die
Gonna let you mother fuckers die, gonna let you mother fuckers die
Look at each other
Look at each other
Look at each other

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
I believe this song is about Governmental mind control technology as the quotes speak of in the booklet of the album.
